This exhibition is a result of two three month road trips taken by Vernon Hewitt from August to November 2017 and November 2018 to January 2019 around the US to write a travel book and also to paint ‘wilderness’ – a generic obsession with American and British painters from the middle of the 19th century. The trips produced a book called Journey Through The End Of Days: An American Road Trip which featured some of the acrylic paintings in this exhibition – and about forty paintings since.
